Stuttgart/Beijing - At this year’s Auto China fair in Beijing (April 20-28, 2008), the focus will be on the keenly anticipated world premiere of the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class. With its functional yet attractive and striking body lines, and extraordinary capabilities both on and off the road, this distinctive character sets new standards in the compact SUV segment. Equally certain to generate a great deal of interest are the new model generations of the SL, M and CLS-Class. The new SL continues the tradition of the sports car family that was founded by the legendary 300 SL "Gullwing" in 1954. This premium roadster with its decidedly sporty and serene design excels with outstanding performance, first-class safety features and luxurious comfort. Following its model update, the successful M-Class now has a significantly more striking appearance and gives an even more sporty, muscular impression. Specific fine-tuning measures have also made the four-door CLS Coupé - the initiator of a new automotive segment - considerably more attractive.
